Has the true color of the Sun ever shown in Star Trek?

[Enterprise1701]

I learned in physics class several months that Earth's star is actually white when viewed with the naked eye from outside of Earth's atmosphere because sunlight is scattered in the atmosphere. Recently, I realized that I couldn't recall a single instance in Star Trek when Sol was portrayed as anything except yellow. Has Star Trek actually gotten this right at some point?

In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, there's a scene where the Enterprise is leaving drydock for the first time. The Sun comes over the horizon of the Earth, and it appears to be white.

Given the extremely sketchy knowledge of science that I have, I had assumed that the concept of 'red', 'yellow', 'blue', etc. suns was largely an invention of the comics (i.e. to explain the effects of varying sized suns on Superman's powers). Is this anywhere near accurate?

DS9's Past Tense II shows a white Sol too. The question is starting to seem more like, "How many instances of a space-viewed yellow Sol are there in Trek?"

Nope, the stars really are colored variously. Look up at night sometime (take along a map of the constellations, if you need one). In the summer you can clearly see that Vega is blue. In the winter, it's obvious that Betelgeuse is red.

Huh. I didn't realize that there were that many instances of a white Sol. I wonder if they were intentionally scientifically correct or just the result of a need for a bright dot.

Well I'm not sure about actual appearances from outside Earth's atmosphere, but I do know that these designations are grounded in scientific reality. Timewalker is correct.

Tinting a light source red or blue or whatever in on optical shot is trivial, so if they left the "sun" white in a VFX shot it's because they didn't want or think to tint it another color.

Add to this the perceived color, due to the eyes of the individual, as well as atmospheric conditions. Cor Coroli, in the sky of the northern hemisphere, is one I've seen myself telescopically. It's a binary star with one companion which looked to me a turquoise color. Others have described it as anything from lavendar, green, and pink!

In Trek's world, there is sound in space, going through nebulae is like flying though soup, asteroid fields are infinitely denser than the reality and you can see stars through the windows of brightly-lit rooms. I don't expect them to get the colour of the sun right, or even to care to. It's a fantasy world very loosely based on real space.
